Anyone have an Anshan/Jaystara horse?

[Shantara]

Just wondering if anyone has a horse related to my lovely mare?

 

[poiuytrewq]

Can't really help but we had one at work ages ago. A big chestnut mare. She was really beautiful

 

[Shantara]

Aw, so she's got a sister! Shantara a.k.a Serenity is a lovely big girl too

 

[poiuytrewq]

Ours (originally named Annie!) went on to breed so she has nieces and nephews too
She was a slightly stressy type. She weaved and got upset if too much was going on.
I think she was a bit difficult to keep weight on but always looked amazing.
Pulled a few faces being groomed and was obviously very sensitive and tickly but never would actually kick or bite, it was like she hated being brushed but also knew she mustn't lash out but barely contained herself! We were all really fond of her.

I have known a couple of Anshan's. Nervy horses.

Have you ever seen pics of your horse racing? Or of her 2 half brothers?

 

[Shantara]

Aww Annie! How lovely

Serenity is a funny lass. She is the calmest, but most highly strung horse I've met! I think she'll calm down though, there have been a lot of changes in her life! She's never really has turnout before, so to go from in 24/7 to out 24/7 will be a lot to take in!
She also got a little stroppy with being groomed, but I suspect that was down to being in season.

I've seen a couple of pics of her racing, but not her half brothers I didn't know she had any!

Is she recently retiring/retired?
Best of luck together

Retired in may I took her on a couple of months ago. Her previous owner did a good job with basic retraining (she was the one who raced her) but she's got a few "racing issues" left over, such as not wanting to stand at the block, but if I can get there with Ned, I can get there with her

Your lass many years ago in Ireland. Not sure if you have seen these.

Captain Ocana - by Karinga Bay - Ran well enough, ran at the Cheltenham Festival a few years ago. I think he is still racing.

Darsi Dancer - By Darsi - still racing.

 

[Shantara]

Oh wow!! Darsi Dancer is beautiful!!

And that's so cool! I didn't realise she did "proper" racing I thought she was only a point to pointer! Thank you!

She did 3 Rules races and 16 points to points.

How do you find all of this? Haha, I'm pants at finding these things

Racingpost.com Gives you all of her race dates and places. You need to be a member to see relatives but if you know their names you can look them up too.

P2P.ie for some of their Irish point to point pics, again look up the name and you need to be a member to see more.

Plus I recognised the name Darsi Dancer as he races against some of our horses up north so knew where to find his pic lol!

I rode an Anshan filly, 2 year old, many years ago when I was working in flat racing called Santella Katie. She was about 14.2hh at her wither and 15.1hh behind which made sitting on her on a Monday morning quite exciting! She was a sweet filly, I loved her but quite nervous and very weak and backward, she never ran as a 2 year old.

Im fairly sure that Alleged was a reasonably good racehorse. EKW may know more although I think he ran on the flat. I think you can watch videos of your horse racing if you log on to the ATTheRaces website and search her name. I did that when I owned an exracer, although my hubby used to say we needed a wide screen laptop to see him he was so far behind

Alleged won the American Triple Crown 37/38 years ago. A crown he held up until last year when American Pharaoh won it. My Gray lads Maternal Grandsire is Alleged.

So yeah, Alleged was a very, very good racehorse

As was Anshan himself. Not in the league of Alleged but he won some nice races and was placed in even more. He was 3Rd in his Guineas and won at Royal Ascot in his time.

She shares her maternal granddam with Rocky Creek who won at Sandown yesterday, he's been second in two grade 1's, and the potentially top class but ill-fated Tell Massini

Affirmed won the American Triple Crown in 1978.

Alleged won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1977.
